Curriculum>Grade 5> Module 5>Topic B: Volume of Prisms and Composite Shapes
To solve a word problem involving a composite shape, students decompose it into two prisms and then find the volume of each part. Then, they find the total volume by adding the volumes of the two parts
A. Find the volume of a prism by adding the volumes of its layers
B. Explore cubic unit notation
C. Find the volume of a prism by multiplying its dimensions (Level 1)
D. Find the volume of a prism by multiplying its dimensions (Level 2)
E. Identify the base of a prism and calculate base area
F. Find the volume of a prism by multiplying the base area by the height (Level 1)
G. Find the volume of a prism by multiplying the base area by the height (Level 2)
